why does my LG TurboWash or TurboShot washer spray water during spin?
an LG front loader fitted with TurboWash/TurboShot can add rinse spray during spin, including a top spray with TurboShot off. spray alone does not establish a drain-pump fault.
model scope: LG front loaders equipped with TurboWash/TurboShot rinse spray.
use the exact model guide to confirm the feature. observe through normal closed operation only: water staying inside, draining and the programme finishing matters more than spray alone. a separate imbalance routine can pause rotation to redistribute the load; it is not proof of suspension failure.
the linked guide explains that distinction without opening the washer. water outside the machine, failure to drain or sustained violent movement needs further assessment. keep the door closed during operation and never bypass the lock. do not apply this explanation to all LG washers or use it to dismiss repeated failed spins.
first checks
- check the fitted feature and outcome
confirm TurboWash/TurboShot in the model guide and record whether water stayed inside and drained, without opening during operation.
possible causes
- normal rinse spray from the fitted TurboWash/TurboShot system
